Global Monopoly of Technology

It is worth mentioning that, in the past first quarter of 2008, Huawei's revenue increased rather than decreased. The sales in the first quarter reached 482.7 billion US dollars, of which 75% were from overseas markets.

The key is that Huawei maintains a sharp double-digit growth. If this momentum continues, the annual sales of Huawei in 2008 will exceed 23 billion US dollars.

Some real economies have been severely impacted, but Huawei's main business, the communication business, has not been affected at all. The overall scale of this industry is increasing, and Huawei's competitiveness is even greater this year. Because of the arrival of the economic winter, customers are also Not much money.

It is said that in the bidding for an order, Hua Wei's opponent bid 20 billion yuan, and Hua Wei directly bid 10 billion yuan, and the competitor was stupid on the spot.

Is this still profitable?

But if Hua Wei dares to accept it, it means that there must be some profit to be made.

And customers must vote with their feet to hand over the order to Hua Wei. In a sense, the economic winter has brought help to Hua Wei, because communication infrastructure must be invested in all countries.

However, Bluestar Technology's life this year is definitely not as good as last year. The company has already prepared for losses for the whole year. This year, it will rely on cash to survive this cold winter.

Unless the cloud computing business can bring surprises.

The Bluestar Technology Group thanked God that the annual revenue in 2008 was able to keep about 20 billion US dollars, and 15 billion US dollars is acceptable, but if the annual revenue is less than 15 billion US dollars, it must reduce the expenditure.

If you don't cut expenses and continue to expand your business, then you need to borrow money to live, and Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about that.

Even if he borrows money, he will not go to the bank to borrow money, and the bank does not have so much money to lend him now, because if he wants to borrow money from the bank, it is not a small amount of several hundred million.

Therefore, if Bluestar Technology wants to borrow money, it must be Luo Sheng borrowing his own money, because he now personally holds more than 40 billion US dollars in cash at any time.

The capital chain crisis brought about by the economic winter is unlikely to happen to him, so the company will not increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but will take this opportunity to expand its business on a global scale.

As Bluestar Technology Group released its first quarterly report this year, the company's stock fell, and its market value fell to $139.5 billion in after-hours trading that day.

Seeing that the company's stock price continued to plummet, from the peak of 207.1 billion US dollars to less than 140 billion US dollars, Zhang Bowen couldn't help but want to buy back, but fortunately there is a big boss Luo Sheng pressing, he is more than everyone else. Hold your breath.

If the market value of Bluestar Technology Group does not fall below the 100 billion yuan mark, Luo Sheng will definitely not make a move.

Interestingly, this incident has made Marvel Comics anxious, for fear that Bluestar Technology's current performance is not good, and it will abandon this merger in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

...

On the morning of April 18th, Avi Arad, who arrived in a hurry, finally landed at Huaguo Shencheng International Airport. He reversed the time difference and went straight to Sioux City to visit the headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group. He even had breakfast. Did not eat.

If it's not too late,

He even wanted to visit directly after getting off the plane.

To Allard's surprise, he thought that the person meeting him this time would be Zhang Bowen.

The result was Luo Sheng.

Zhang Bowen is the No. 2 person in the group company, and he is the one who handles the specific facts. He is much busier than Luo Sheng.

The place where the two sides met was not at the headquarters of the Bluestar Technology Group, but at the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur, because today Luo Sheng is in the Cote d'Azur.

At this moment, in the company's reception room, Luo Sheng is having an interview with Avi Arad, the head of Marvel Comics.

"1.6 billion US dollars, 67 shares, we reluctantly sold, as long as you nod and agree, we can submit documents to the Federal Department of Justice tomorrow." After the meeting, Allard said straight to the point.

Time is really running out.

Without waiting for Luo Sheng's response, Avi Arad hurriedly added: "But for this acquisition, we hope to realize it through cross-shareholding, and pay for it in the form of Bluestar Technology Group's stock plus some cash."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled in his heart. He didn't expect it to be in line with both sides. The executives of Marvel Comics seemed to have some insight. Did he take the initiative to make such a request to see the future potential of Bluestar Technology Group?

"No problem, that's it." Luo Sheng didn't think much, and immediately gave him a response.

Using Bluestar Technology Group's stock to cross-merge, the cash saved can be used for bargain hunting. In this way, after several rounds of capital operations, it is equivalent to taking part of the 1.6 billion US dollars to buy the bottom of the company's stock.

Then use some of the stocks obtained from the bargain hunters to cross-hold it to Marvel, which can save a lot of money to repurchase a portion of the stock. Roughly calculated, it is equivalent to Bluestar Technology only spent about 900 million US dollars to buy Marvel Comics. The company was acquired.

It is definitely the best solution. The game of capital is so magical, and this method is not a high-level way of playing.

And Marvel Comics will not lose money. It seems to be losing money now, but in the long run, once Bluestar Technology Group's stock rises, it will make a lot of money, and Luo Sheng will not lose any more. Marvel 67's equity Already owned by him.

But there are still prerequisites, and that is to be surprised not to sell off your holdings in the middle.

Avi Arad didn't expect the trip to China to be so smooth. Anyway, it was much smoother than he expected. He originally thought that the other party would lower the price, and the bottom line of the surprise company was 1.4 billion US dollars.

But this didn't happen, because Luo Sheng wasn't a god, couldn't read minds, and it wasn't just Marvel Comics that was eager to settle this matter before "Iron Man" was released, Luo Sheng was the same.

Once "Iron Man" is released, the situation will be reversed in an instant. It will not be $1.6 billion by then, and even if it doubles, Marvel will not necessarily sell itself.

Timing is really important.

Neither side wants too many variables, and Luo Sheng doesn't care too much about the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The matter is settled.

After this matter was settled, Avi Arad didn't stay too much. The initial agreement was completed, and the formal contract was signed. All were done on the same day, and he flew back to North America the next day.

The merger of Marvel Comics into the Bluestar Technology Group is a certainty, and the news has also spread, and various media are competing to report.
